PAROLE SUPERVISION FEES - S.B. 1359: FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 1359 (as discharged)
Sponsor: Senator Walter H. North
Committee: Appropriations
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Corrections Code to increase parole supervision fees.
Parole supervision fees are based on projected monthly income. Executive Order 2001-9 changed the fee structure as shown in Table 1 for FY 2001-02. The bill would make those changes permanent.
Table 1
| Offender Monthly Income | Prior Monthly Fee | E.O. 2001-9 Monthly Fee |
| $0-$249.99
$250-$499.99 $500-$749.99 $750-$999.99 $1000 and up |
$0
$10 $20 $30 $30 |
$0
$10 $25 $40 5% of monthly income. Fee not to exceed $135. |
FISCAL IMPACT
The bill would codify only the parole portion of the temporary increases in probation and parole supervision fees made in Executive Order 2001-9. The Department of Corrections (DOC) FY 2002-03 budget is based on the estimation by the DOC and the State Budget Office that the new fee structure for both the probation and parole populations would increase collections by $843,800 for a total revenue of $7,745,100. There are no data currently available to indicate how much of this revenue is from parolees versus probationers. Parolees currently represent 21% of the combined probation and parole population. If one assumes that probationers would provide the same proportion of the increase in supervision fees, then the bill would generate $177,200 in additional revenue for the DOC.
